Managing data center infrastructure can be an around-the-clock job. Your stakeholders are expecting 100% uptime, whether or not it is reasonable. 之间的备份, Security, 资源利用率, 和替换, you feel more like a firefighter than a System Admin. Establishing a plan can take the edge off the pressures of your responsibilities.

在云计算和内部部署操作中识别和应用数据中心挑战和解决方案是IT成功的关键. By considering the following six common data center problems, 你要做好准备,在这些问题影响到你的运营之前识别并解决它们. We will first focus on the top six data center challenges, namely:

  1. 数据中心设计
  2. 电源故障
  3. 环境问题
  4. 网络和布线
  5. Security
  6. 管理

1. 数据中心设计 Issues – Infrastructure and Capacity Planning

一些顶级数据中心挑战围绕着数据中心内的物理空间. 是不是空间太小了, 空间太大, or excessive heat due to hardware proximity, 计划不周 数据中心物理基础设施 能产生显著和持久的影响吗. 看到的失败 IT基础设施容量规划 下面,并探讨如何预防它们!

扩展空间不足

The importance of sufficient space cannot be overstated.

  • 还有发展空间吗?
  • Do planning regulations allow your center to expand up?
  • Do the surroundings allow your data center to expand out?

A poor data center design may limit the future growth of your data center. 不得不从事 数据中心搬迁 由于不可预见的增长可能对业务连续性和费用产生重大影响.

常见数据中心问题的说明

刷新设备后空间过大

合并新旧十大赌博正规老平台器时, 规划人员需要意识到,虽然新十大赌博正规老平台器更小,并且具有更小的物理足迹, newer servers need significantly more power with their higher energy consumption. 有不同的要求 虚拟十大赌博正规老平台器vs. 物理十大赌博正规老平台器 that will also impact the needs of your facility.

同时, 这大大增加了设备刷新所需的冷却系统的数量. 这对数据中心的热足迹来说是一个重大挑战.

Challenges of Data Center Thermal 管理

先进的热控制必须执行一个微妙的平衡行为,以实现适当的气流和温度,利用可用的冷却选项,如基于气流, 水性, 以及基于制冷剂的系统.

将数据中心定位在可以通过冷空气和/或冷水自由冷却的位置, thus generally in the far north or the far south, may help reduce the challenges of data center thermal management. 看看什么 Google did in Finland in a disused paper mill to make use of water from the Baltic Sea to cool its data center.

2. Power and/or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Failure

电源故障和所谓的不间断电源故障是计划外停机的最常见原因之一. 这些故障通常仅仅是由于规划不当和缺乏对必要的UPS设备的投资.

3. 数据中心环境问题

数据中心及其相关十大赌博正规老平台器在运行和热管理方面都有电源需求. These power requirements translate into energy needs. Data centers are huge users of energy, so where can we get this energy supply?

One option is to locate a data center near an affordable source of energy. 从环保的角度来看,可再生能源显然是长期的候选者. 例如, 位于有大量水力发电的河流附近的数据中心可能比位于核电站附近的数据中心更好, 即使, 短期内, nuclear power might be less expensive than hydropower. Data center plans should consider the long-term environmental impact.

据福布斯报道在全球范围内,数据中心目前占电力需求的1%,贡献的电力为10%.3%的二氧化碳排放量. 然而,能源效率是关键. 数据中心设计人员需要考虑总体能源消耗和能源效率. 在设计低成本能源时,只知道能源消耗是最小的或, 相反, 这些能源没有得到有效利用. 研究显示 数据中心的容量通常没有得到充分利用,但闲置的十大赌博正规老平台器仍在消耗能源. Any gains from low-cost energy must be used effectively and efficiently.

4. Challenges in Data Center 网络和布线

There are two potential challenges in data center networking. First, bandwidth: how much data can travel over a connection? 更高的带宽意味着更好的网络速度.

硬币的另一面是延迟:测量数据传输到目的地所需的时间. 延迟是数据的延迟, which at the macro-level is a function of distance that data must travel.

数据中心的布线问题

Regardless of the speed of the connection, data must travel some distance. That movement of data between locations takes time. 数据中心的网络依赖于速度:光纤电缆和短距离传输的数据可以避免数据中心延迟问题. 十大赌博正规老平台器之间的电缆, 存储, and networking 设备 can quickly become unruly, so having a plan in place beforehand can prevent challenges down the road.

Besides distance, network complexity is important. 网络设备从来没有100%的效率,因为它们不断地优先考虑如何路由数据包. The shortest route might not always be available. Data may have to travel through more connections, which increases latency. 在很多情况下, 网络带宽监控软件 can help you observe your network condition and respond accordingly.

5. 数据中心Security问题

There are several common data center Security challenges, from physical Security to access-related issues, 例如拒绝十大赌博正规老平台(DoS). 除了, 还有数据相关的问题, such as confidential information being stolen, 数据被更改, 或者纯粹的数据丢失. IBM最近的 数据泄露研究 shows that more than half (52%) of data breaches are caused by malicious attacks, 其根本原因是:

  1. 妥协的凭证
  2. 网络钓鱼
  3. 云错误配置
  4. 第三方软件漏洞
  5. 物理Security危害

然而,到2021年,这些威胁不再是最昂贵的恶意数据泄露. 商业邮件泄露现在高居榜首, 从平均成本的角度来看, with 网络钓鱼 and Malicious Insider close behind.

6. 数据中心管理问题

The management of a data center is challenging. 最重要的是识别和消除数据中心运营的风险, 以实现关键系统的高可靠性和为客户提供高可用性为目标. 解决数据中心管理问题的一项关键技术是采用计算方法 Data Center Infrastructure 管理 (DCIM).

DCIM typically monitors, measures, manages, and controls a data center’s:

  • Equipment, such as servers, 存储, and network
  • Infrastructure such as power distribution and cooling systems

DCIM的目标是允许从占地面积的角度全面查看数据中心的性能, 设备, 和电力/能源, as well as analyzing the data related to these criteria. DCIM should allow facilities to determine how efficient they are operating.

实时网络监控和报告

One important aspect of DCIM is to properly monitor and measure network operations. 如前所述, 在数据中心网络和布线中有许多挑战需要解决, 从关键系统之间的带宽到网络中涉及的延迟. 因此, DCIM需要网络的实时视图,以确保可以进行适当的报告和分析,以识别和修复任何潜在的瓶颈.

操作端监控和客户端监控可能是完全不同的挑战. You may encounter client issues that don’t originate from within your data center, but DCIM tools won’t necessarily help you identify where the real failure is. 客户可以利用 网络监控软件 for more comprehensive visibility into their overall network.

优化性能

Efficient data center management means optimizing performance. 对于数据中心来说,这意味着用更少的资源做更多的事情,同时确保 可用性、正常运行时间和可靠性. One key component of optimization is power usage. How effective is the data center in its total power requirement?

Performance is also about computation usage: efficiently managing workloads, 还有冷却效率. Well-optimized data centers are generally more reliable, providing an additional boost in performance as perceived by 客户.

降低资本支出和运营成本

运营自己的数据中心的组织正在进行资本支出投资,包括相关的前期成本和经常性升级成本. 典型的资本支出方法是将资源集中在组织的非核心业务上. 第三方IT硬件维护 与OEM支持合同相比,可以有效地延迟设备更新的需要,同时节省30-40%.

替代方案是托管和基于云的数据中心,运营费用可控(OpEx)。. OpEx允许更大的灵活性. 数据中心的远程人员 是否还可以用于降低主机托管操作的成本,同时保持对网络的合理控制水平.

In both CapEx-oriented and OpEx-oriented approaches, 组织需要优化他们对资源的使用,以便他们只为他们真正需要的东西付费.
